Imposition: Trade languishes; manufac-
lures are OF their lowest ebo; finances are
panicky; and the future is filed with dark
ness and uncertainty. Amidst all this de-
mocracy rules eupreme;" and then, "recur-
ring to the past, contrast our present condi-
ton with the prosperity and content which
prevailed our land under the administration
of the republican party" The memories of
Gen. Malone aud Mr.. John S. Wise are very
bad they have forgotten the tabor strikes.
which, under republican administrations,
had to be suppressed by the federal soldiers !;
they have forgotten the millions of value
burned in Pittsburg, Pa, and destroyed
along nearly every line of railroad by labor
frenzied with the hard times of republican
rule they have forgotten Black Friday and
the panic, the want and restitution, the
ruin and loss which followed in the wake OF
republican financial mismanngement. But
did they forget? MOI Like that good lit
tie boy who said to another boy, ''Ycur
father and my father are brothers, but you

The Race Trouble in Texas

HoU5ToN, Tex, Sept. Glowing to the
lack of facilities on the railroad leading to
Brazoria county, The Houston Light Guards
did not get away for the seat of the negro
instruction until nine o'clock last night and
cannot reach Caney creek before noon to-
day. Captain Rechardt took twenty men
with him with large quantity of ammuni.
ton. Another company is held in reserve
here awaiting further orders from the Gov
ernor Alarming reports which could not
be traced to any reliable source were in cir
culation last night as to the seriousness Of
the conflict which took place yesterday
morning between the negroes and Sheriff
Hickey's posse. Nothing positive was known
here up to a late hour last night about the
fight or how many were killed, but it was
reported that several negroes were killed
Brazoria and Matagorda counties are largely
populated by negroes and many bloody race
battles have been fought in both counties
during the past ten years, especially during
election seasons Caney creek settlement
where the present trouble originated, is in
the extreme southeastern corner Of Mata-
gorda county, 35 miles west Of Columbia,
the county seat of Brazoria county. There
are no telegraph lines in that county, and
news of the fight will be carried to Colum
bia by couriers.

sleep with their heads to the north is believed by
tho French to have for its foundation scientific
fact They affirm that each human system is in
itself an electric battery, tho head being one of
the electrodes, the feet the other. Their proof
was discovered from experiments which the
Academy of Sciences was allowed to make on the
body of man who was guillotincd. This was
taken the instant it fell and placed upon pivot
free to move as it might The head part, after a
little vacillaton, turned to the north and the
body then remained stationary. 1t was turned
half way around by one of the professors. aud

Sidney Morse. the sculptor, of Boston, who
has been at work for several weeks upon 8
statuette of President Cleveland, has just
completed the model and has had his first
cast made. The figure is about thirty
inches high, and represents the President
standing in an easy attitude, resting upon
his right foot, with his left hand behind his
back. His right hand hangs easily at his
side, and holds slip of paper. Despite the
rotundity and stoutness of his form, Pres
ident Cleveland's figure presents excellent
proportions and makes fine statue, with
many good qualities from an artistic stand
point.
